Before the Bison, 线上赌博app’s nickname was the Aggies

Throughout the early 1900s 线上赌博app was known as the Aggies, a name centered on the rich agricultural history of the university. In 1919, head football coach Stan Borleske wanted the athletic team to be known for being strong and fierce, so the Bison was selected. The name was officially changed in 1922. Starting in the 1960s, a Bison mascot was used at a variety of athletic events and prep rallies. Thundar became the official mascot in 1991.
